Speaker 3 (00:19):
No, that wasn't Steve Allen. Steve is dead. He was
the first. I remember, he was the first comic to
get a joke censor.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Wait, Steve Allen got a joke censor? Yeah, what was
a joke? Do you remember?

Speaker 5 (00:28):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I do.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
The joke was there's a women's shelter just opening in Hollywood.
It's called Tempora House for Lightly Battered Women.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
And they censored that.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Wow, you couldn't get that on today. No, I mean
you couldn't even do that on radio today. No, No,
that's what we did it on radio.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
You can't make light of violence against the women, you.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Know, well you can't.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
You just shouldn't bar That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, you're.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Like a bunch of white guys sitting there on Yeah, Bob,
I think it's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Sean Connor, I think you're sold.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, you're right. I mean Sean Connor as well.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
George Carlin had a great line. George Carlin said, you know,
they say he can't make fun of of everything. He says, no,
you can. Sometimes you shouldn't, but you can't always. There's
always a joke. There's always a joke. But you had
you know, some of the guys that worked a little Blue,
like Red Fox comes to mind, also Don rickles Man,

(01:29):
they'd sell every show out though, you know, they go
to Vegas and they standing room only. You know, people,
I think nothing wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
With working Blue if that's what the audience, if they
come for it, and you know what, but that's fine.
I think it's when you fostered on people who don't
want to hear it. That's you know, people think if
you think, oh, you bring your children to a show
and then you find out it's dirty, well you might
enjoy it as an adult, but you don't enjoy it
as a parent. You know, as long as you tell
the audience what you're going to do, I think it's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Have you ever used the F word on stage? Is
that right? I had never heard you used that?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, you know, years ago I met. You know, when
you work Harras, he had to work clean.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh, I didn't know that way. Harris in Tahoe.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
In Tahoe, Yeah, they were really strict back in the
old days, and I think I had. You know, a
lot of times comics get nervous, they just throw their
word end of the you know, I think I just
threw it the guys. Now, you can't work our club,
you said, well, I just kind of said it once.
Well have you said it once? You do it at
our room too, So I lost the job. I said,
you know, I'm not going to make that mistake again.

(02:29):
I'm not going to lose a job because of the
effort or whatever it might be. You know, I mean
to me. You know, people don't realize you used to
get arrested for that.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah right, And well when you worked
at Harros though, did you work in Tahoe, at Harris
in Tahoe and Reno, because when I know when some
of the comedians in the nineteen seventies, you know, I
think it was Sonny Bono that played you know, the
Pointers Sisters, Carol Burnett, My dad flew through there. They
used to put you up at a at a house
on the lake. And that's where you, as the talent

(03:01):
for the for the hotel, stayed on that beautiful home
on the lake with a boat. Right, did you stay
in that house?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I didn't say.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
They gave I was like an opening act at the time.
So what do you do on the road? Because you
don't drink, you don't smoke, you don't gamble. I mean,
what do you do?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
You don't do anything? That's what you do? Well, I
have to I read a couple of columns, so I
have to write I do all that on the road,
like I was in Miami and Hot Springs docta. This weekend,
I wrote two columns or two magazines.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
I write for.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Did you ever hear the story about Ray Romano after
he had twins? No, Ray Romano goes to New York
City and he's had twins, right, and he's not had
a day apart from these twins in two years. So
he goes to New York for the first time. He
leaves the twins at home with his wife. He's in
New York City, a beautiful hotel, and he sees that
they offer X rated movies on TV. Yeah, I think, yeah,

(03:53):
So he calls down, he presses it, and he says,
you can buy one movie for ten dollars, or you
can buy a bunch of them for you know, whatever
the price was. And he said, oh. He says, so
I'd rather buy a lot of many presses. I'll get
the big block of porno movies. And then it comes
on screen pornos have been blocked from your TV. So

(04:14):
he goes, oh, I got a call down to the
front desk now, So he calls down the front desk
and the lady picks up. Yes, mister Romano, how can
we help you? He's like, just wondering what time the
coffee shops open.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Of course he told it better than I did, but.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
I think one would tell it better. You get the
gist of it.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I think you get the gist hardly.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
And he just it all when you say the gist
is completely missing from the joke.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
You need more gist in that joke.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Because I remember laughing when Ray did it, and I'm going,
now it sounds like.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
A news report. Well you've already heard it, for God's sakes,
all right, Where are you to go to?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Target?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Where do you buy that stuff?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Walmart?

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Goodwill?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Walmart? Walmart's very good.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I like Walmart too. You go to the one in
the Empire Center.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh yeah, I go there.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
And you know, when you have a product, getting it
in Walmart is not easy.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
No, they go through your books.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Well not that your book. I mean you put it
in a box. They throw it down the flight of
six times. Oh really, If the create leaks, you're out?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, I mean it's uniform. It's everything's got to be.
That's a huge machine.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Plus, when you have a product that Walmart, because a
friend of mine has a product of Walmart, they come
in and they open up your books. They want to
know who you who's your supplier, where you buy it,
how much you pay for it, and because they and
then they're going to make you a deal based on
those numbers, right right. Nobody in no other company does that.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's about right.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, that's crazy all right. Target prices, it shouldn't affect you, Jay,
because you've got some money, but prices are going up,
so you got to watch your wallet.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Especially our filters.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Going through the ceiling.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Here, with those terraffs now in place, you might notice
some big changes with price tags of everyday items. And
this is going to be a afecting a number of
different industries.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
If you look at prignate prices before you buy something, Yeah,
I do really even that kind of doll huh?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Why wouldn't I look at woo?

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Well?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Can you get afford it? I mean, what did that
shirt you're wearing is probably you know, a couple hundred bucks?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, I don't know, maybe, but you don't and you
would look at the prices, you know some I remember
I used to have Dennis Ridman on the Night Showl.
He was great, and he goes to Vegas with three
friends and they run up one hundred thousand dollars room service. Wow,
how do you run up one hundred thousand dollars room service?

Speaker 4 (06:35):
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Man going for That's That's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
So no, mostly liquor. I'm very frugal, all right, job,
but the price are going up at Target.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
So you might see shifts in terms of food, beverages, electronics, steel,
oil and gas.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Some temporary short term disruption.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
President Trump's tariffs have gone into place. That's twenty five
percent tax on goods from Canada and Mexico. The ten
percent tariff on China that was already in effect is
now doubling to twenty percent in this winter season.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
We depend on Mexico for a significant amount of supply. No,
those are categories where we'll try to protect pricing, but
the consumer will likely see price increases over the next.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Couple of days.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Target CEO state, how are we going to see price
increase over the next couple of days? If you're right,
all the shells are already full, right, coujing gouja is
what they're doing, dare they?

Speaker 7 (07:23):
The consumer will likely see price increases over the next
couple of days.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Target CEO stating prices for strawberries, avocados, and bananas could rise,
while local restaurants like Red Maple Here into Luca Lake.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh, that's a good restaurant, Red Maple. You ever go there?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I enjoy eating red maples, you know, as long as
it's fresh and in season.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, red maple is great, fantastic.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Well, local restaurants like Red Maple Here into Luca Lake
are also feeling the.

Speaker 8 (07:56):
Pinch produce is going to be the biggest effect for us.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
CO.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Owner Brian Veskovsky started working on a menu with higher
prices last night.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Say, have you ever tried being a vegan? You ever
tried to kick meat? No?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, nothing grown from the earth, to take it from
the seed. No, No, I'm not a I tend to
eat things that have a faith.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's right. Yeah, that's where the flavor is. Yeah, exactly
in the face.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
I'm not a vegan.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I'm not.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
He says, they'll have to make up costs on produce, liquor, coffee,
even paper to go boxes. Much of that cost passed
down to customers.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Much of the cost, all of the costs, much of
the cost. So I'm going to absorb some of it
because I feel guilty.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
That's right, much of that cost passed down to customers.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
We manage our household on a budget, just like the
rest of America does. And you just have to limit
some of the stuff you want to do. If it's

Oh, but you can't stay in your lane.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I like doing it on my own.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know, that's called wandering.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
But it gets me too close to the truck next
to me before it corrects me. I don't like that. Oh,
I like to stay away from the I also do
this when I drive around. If there's an expensive car
in front of me, you know, maserati, whatever, I bail,

It's actually it should arrive this week.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
You're you gonna put it in the background like everybody else.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
That's a good question. I feel like I want to
put it in the sounded like Jay.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know, Maybe I should wear it her on
your neck, a big king that's like like flavor flames.

Speaker 9 (13:02):
Right, yeah, I think for a week or so, maybe
I have just to show everybody that we've gotten there
because it worked so hard for it.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
If you did blow one hundred thousand, you gotta give
it back. Yes, well let's find out everybody. Let's unsubscribe
about that. How dare you all right? The graffiti towers,
I don't know why we know them now? Is the
graffiti towers?

Speaker 11 (13:23):
I do?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I just walked by them last week. Well it's horrible
the King's game. Yeah, yeah, it's horrible. And now there's
some news though. Why haven't we done anything about the
graffiti towers. They're right across from Crypto, right across from
the Convention Center, and some I you know, as George
Carlin calls them, life's most interesting guys went up there
and graffiti the entire building and now it's a it's

(13:47):
an eyesore.

Speaker 12 (13:47):
Construction stopped on the so called graffiti towers all the
way back in twenty nineteen and last year city council
took action to get all that graffiti cleaned up.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Do they called the graffiti towers? Back before there was
graffiti I don't think they did.

Speaker 12 (13:59):
No, So why is nearly every floor still tagged from
top to bottom?

Speaker 3 (14:04):
To some this is forty nine floors of art.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
That takes talent, honestly? Who wait, that's art to some people.
Forty nine floors of spray painting.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Yeah, some of it is that street art? You know
what I mean? You're right?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Sure, yeah, but me haven't looked close enough. I don't know. Look,
that takes talent, honestly, Okay, maybe it is. Take It
takes talent. That takes talent, honestly. Okay, it does take
talent to do some graffiti. I get I get that.
But it's also, yeah, a big black eye for the
city to have it so prominent.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Oh, there's no question. It's not. It's not cool.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's not to others.

Speaker 13 (14:46):
It's three hundred and forty unfinished.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Look, if there are some very talented graffiti artists, and
they're talented enough to sell their own art, why why
wouldn't they do that? You know, if you're an artist
and you can make mon at it, why wouldn't you
do it? You know, so you can have a nice
life for your family, your friends, your mom, your dad,
make some money at it. There should be a graffiti

(15:10):
you know, art display. What are they called art show somewhere?

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Oh yeah, I think they are. They do have them.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think, well they should have more of them.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Okay, okay, two others.

Speaker 13 (15:20):
It's three hundred and forty unfinished condo units that make
for one huge eye sore.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
That's right, that's an eyesore, huge eye sord, a huge eyesore.
It could have been so much better.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
I don't really feel comfortable walking around here in these
parts because of I think partly because of this.

Speaker 13 (15:37):
Like did they kind of like catch your attention?

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:40):
No, definitely, I was wondering exactly what the story was.

Speaker 13 (15:43):
Well, here is the story and why they're so called
graffiti towers remains to this day, tagged and unfinished. In
twenty fifteen, Beijing based developer ocean Wide Holdings broke ground
on what is officially called ocean Wide Plaza. In twenty nineteen,
the company ran out of cash and stopped.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Construction fourteen nine.

Speaker 13 (16:05):
Last year, the city council voted to give ocean Wide
Holdings until February seventeenth, twenty twenty four, to start removing
the graffiti.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
How'd that go? February of twenty twenty four to remove
the graffiti. But now we're in March of twenty twenty
five and still there.

Speaker 13 (16:22):
This was then District fourteen council member Kevin de Leone.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
And the event if they don't do it, then we
will do it for him and we will stiff him
with the bill.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Nice threat. That didn't work, But.

Speaker 13 (16:34):
The city never scrubbed any of this off either, after
estimating it would cost a million taxpayer bucks to paint
over all that tagging.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
At least you're this guy sounds like and he think
I think he stole Joel Grover's act.

Speaker 9 (16:49):
Yes, I absolutely agree. I was trying to figure out
who he sounds like.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
If you're right he stole Joel Grover's act and his voice,
who is I don't know. I don't know who the
guy is.

Speaker 13 (16:58):
After estimating it would cost a million taxpayer bucks to
paint over all that tagging, LA.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Especially right there, your shash not Joe, No, it's not
Joe Gurr to paint over all that tagging.

Speaker 13 (17:09):
LA's Office of Community Beautification tells seven Down Your Side
investigates that it was decided that the city.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
So this guy's on ABC because he said seven on
your Side.

Speaker 13 (17:20):
LA's Office of Community Beautification tells seven Down Your Side
Investigates that it was decided that the city should not
incur the cost for abatement of graffiti on this privately
owned building after another year. Some are starting to worry.
All the graffiti, all the razor wire, and all the
construction materials will be greeting millions of visitors.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Man, somebody took a bath on that project. Oh you're
not going to buy the property and to put all
that construction into it and then it just goes in
the toilet. Somebody lost a lot of money. I don't
know if it was a bank or private equity, but
somebody took a bath.

Speaker 13 (17:57):
In just a few short years, La will be host
seeing the World Cup and.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Then the Olympics. Okay, is that building going to be
there while the Olympics are in town? Is that what's
going to go on?

Speaker 9 (18:07):
They're going to have to do something. They don't want
it there. We're going to cover it, yeah, I mean yeah,
they might literally cover it. I mean blanket. It's weird
that a lot of the building is not graffeited, right,
but a bunch of the building is. So it's not
like the whole building is graffeeded. It it's a The
whole thing is half baked. I don't understand why there
aren't certain guarantees when it comes to real estate developers

(18:30):
and outsiders who come in with a big project like
that before it's greenlit by the city. I would think
you would check on financial reserves. I don't know how
this stuff works, but it seems to me like all
of a sudden, you can come up, Oh, we ran
out of money.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
I guess we're just going to bail on the project.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, and then everybody that works down there it has
to look at it every single day.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
It sucks.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
It just sucks.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I saw a bunch of young kids down there at
that building. I was at the convention center and they
were street artists and die there they were. They were
on the sidewalk there and they had to spell out
graffiti with their bodies, and you know, I feel sorry
for the young lady who is the A.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Well, you got to say that they were nude. You
left that out.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I can't figure out who that reporter is, but I
will stay on it.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
I've looked to him.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
It's Kevin, Yes, it's Kevin List.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
Here I think that it's time for the city he.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Bellio.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
How'd you like that Leno joke with the woman has
to put be the a in peace?

Speaker 3 (19:37):
No comment?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh wow, somebody shouldn't be going to Flappers this weekend.
You're very sensitive sitting there with their legs crossed, arms crossed.

Speaker 11 (19:50):
I think that this it's time for the city and
the county and actually each tier of government right to
take a look at this, to be involved and to
figure out what there is and ensuring that we don't
contain you to have this structure being the blighted eyesore
that it is.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
That's right, take care of it.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
The idiots, you know you want, they don't care. They
don't take care of it because they're losers. That's why
they don't. Everybody involved down there, they're all losers. All right,
We're live on KFI. It's Conna and Thompson. We're a
half hour away from Donald Trump's big speech.

Speaker 10 (20:21):
You're listening to Tim Conwayton. You're on demand from KFI
Am six forty.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Are you gonna go see Leno Friday or Saturday Flappers?

Speaker 4 (20:30):
I might.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
I actually was just looking at the schedule to see
if why are you gonna go down there. You know,
I saw him a couple weeks ago, so I don't
want to, you know, take up a seat where somebody
else could go.

Speaker 9 (20:39):
Oh yeah, well I've seen it as well. But I
really like I enjoyed very much.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
I also like the comedy club scene just like.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, I did too, I do too.

Speaker 9 (20:46):
I could maybe go Friday night if I'm all right, well,
so if I'm going down to see the tennis in
the desert on Friday, Yeah, there's a big tennis tournament
down there in the in the Palm Springs area. Really yeah,
so I'm gonna go down there. Genya Slimder the Yeah,
that's it. Not not what it is, Tim, And I
know you're mocking it, but it's it was Virginia's slip.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
It was Virginia slums at Manhattan Beach. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I love that cigarettes were sponsoring. It's pretty bizarre. But
it wasn't like in the fifties. It was like I
remember going in the nineties and it was.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
It wasn't long ago. That's absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, I'm not a big tennis guy. Yeah, but I
don't know who you going to see. That's a great tournament.
I mean, I don't know. We're getting We got my
buddy and I are going to go down there. We've
got grounds. Passes are very expensive beginning to the arena.
And at that point, that is to say, in the
first week of the tournament, it's only a few days in.

Speaker 9 (21:37):
On the warm up courts, you're seeing like a lot
of big names. And I'll tell you something else. You
see even some matches going down on the outer court.
So you know, I think you don't need access to
the all the action if you will, Oh, I see, okay,
meaning you can see a lot justinim being Have you

(21:58):
met the tennis players.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
You meet anybody?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I haven't. Would you say to them, nice shot? A
big fan is always a good thing to say to everybody,
don't you think, big san Yeah, nice shot. Maybe I'll
try a nice shot and see how that See how
that works out?

Speaker 4 (22:15):
All right?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
We got a water main that broke in West Hills.
That's not good, la man. They can't get together on
almost any level.

Speaker 14 (22:23):
A waterman break in West Hills sends rocks flying through
the air, damaging several cars.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
That's a big water main break. When rocks are flying
out of the sky and they hit your window and
bust your windshield. Uh.

Speaker 14 (22:36):
The destructive water main break may have been preventable.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
Hours earlier.

Speaker 14 (22:40):
A woman noticed water leaking into the street and called DWP.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
How that go. You think DWP responded lights and sirens
to the water leak in the street, or you think
they ignored it. Let's find out.

Speaker 8 (22:53):
But she says they didn't answer.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
I nailed it well sort of, but.

Speaker 8 (22:59):
She says they didn't answer.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
They didn't answer. She called DWP and said the water
leaking on the street, and they said, screw it, we're
not coming.

Speaker 8 (23:08):
But she says they didn't answer.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Well.

Speaker 9 (23:10):
The water main finally ruptured later in the afternoon, it
was too late.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Rick Chambers live in West Hills. With the story written.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I like Rick Chambers. That's a great guy. Been around
for a while, Rick Jane, he has used to be.
He's the guy who they like in movies where they're
going to get a reporter. Yeah, he plays a lot
of those reporters.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
He's you ever hear the Marongo commercials, like the top
five reasons to go to Marongo?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yeah, that's him, Is that right?

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Well that's great work.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Oh yeah, it's been doing it for years. Yeah, many
many years. He's great.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
Oh my god, that's really funny to think of him
doing those spots.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yeah, Rick Chambers, the work crew has just left about
twenty minutes ago after putting that temporary patch out there
in the street.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
But he should he should incorporate it into his reporting.
Top five reasons the water main broke number five too
much pressure, number four, not enough money for infrastructure, number three,
reports of a leak going unignored by DWP, and the
number one reason why water mains break in Los Angeles.

(24:08):
We've got no money.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
But there were a number of aggravated drivers here earlier
because when this water main blew, it was like a
volcano erupting.

Speaker 9 (24:16):
Oh, like a volcano. That's the way he does the
Marango region. Yeah, exaggerated, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
But it was like a volcano. There were rocks, It
blew the street up, there were rocks coming down on people.

Speaker 9 (24:26):
I mean, that's what is going on there, tim When
that that's a is that a build up of pressure?

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, Well it's it's these are they were meant to
last fifty to sixty seventy years and they're all one
hundred plus years old, and so they're gonna.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Blow it was like a volcano erupting.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, you're right right, that is him on the Morongo.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
It was like a volcano erupting, and those nearby cars
didn't stand a chance.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
In an eventful days to be sure.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
But not at all what Brett Cronan expected. His was
one of a half dozen cars damaged when this water
mains oddly exploded on Van Owen.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Okay, here's here's my two cents on this. If the
DWP would have responded to the water leak, they would
may have shut it down and relieved some of the
pressure there and then fixed the pipe. But now that
they didn't and it exploded, you have injured people. They'll
sue and you have to pay for all the car damage.
All those cars that are damaged. The city is going

(25:23):
to pay for every single damage, every single one of them.
It's their fault.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
You know.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
You park on the street and the water main breaks,
the city's going to pay for your your to rebuild
your car. And a lot of those you know, because
the windshields broke, because the rocks at the windshield, a
lot of those cars were filled to the brim with water.
So there were two and a half feet of water
in the car.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
So that's all.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
You can't you can't you know, you can't fix a
car like that new car. Yeah, it's a new car.
You know the lyric. Get the lyric and from catalog.
You and J like the lyrics.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Just outside the fall Brooks shopping Center here in West Hills.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh, I love that fall brook shopping center. Yeah, it's
beautiful out there. Yeah, remind me of old school, like
nineteen seventies. The car is completely total. All the windshields
are buzshed.

Speaker 8 (26:07):
I mean, there was rocks and a brief flying along
with the water. There's a lot of water pulled.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
In the bottom.

Speaker 8 (26:13):
This is what I took this morning.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Crystal Hendrix took this picture of the leak in its infancy.

Speaker 8 (26:19):
But I walked by.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I noticed that there was a hole that the water.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Was coming up and something, she says she called DWP.
But in the hours before they arrived, the leak grew
and then burst again.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Heard from massive explosion.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Thought it was maybe.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Another Lindsey Blackwell was at work here in the shopping center.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
You know what you'd love to hear one day in
the news. I saw water leak in the street called
DWP there here in five minutes. They took care of it. Yeah,
that would be nice. It might it might happen like
those are the stories that are not reported. Maybe maybe
maybe maybe, But I take your.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
Point, which is that if they responded to this one promptly,
we might have been able to avoid this.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah. And then we got rain coming right, that'll increase
the water pressure. A lot of rain, actually, I think,
isn't that right? Yeah, I guess there's one the two inches. Yeah,
it could be a pretty significant rainstorm coming in. All right,
we got the jay Leno was here. That was cool.
He's going to be at Flappers on Friday and Saturday.
Go see him. And we have his old comedy partner

(27:22):
coming on at six. I don't know if you know that,
but Donald Trump and Leno used to be comedy partner.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
I didn't and.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
They split up in one winded politics. The other guy
stayed in comedy. And he's come on at six o'clock,
so we'll see what's going on with him at six pm.

Speaker 10 (27:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Trump is about to speak in seven and a half minutes. Mark.
You're into politics, what do we hear tonight what's going on.

Speaker 9 (27:52):
Well, he's got a lot to address, tim and he
says it's going to be a substantial speech from the
standpoint of breadth of what he'll cover. And also, so
we're going to hear what are we not going to hear?
I mean, I think you'll hear a lot about the
reforming of government. I think you'll probably hear a reference
to the.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Way he's cleaning DEI and these things that have sort
of become cornerstones of his early administration.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Has only been in power for what is.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
It, five or seven years, Yeah, it seems like it. Well,
he mentioned Doge Doze.

Speaker 9 (28:24):
I don't know if he'll mention it by name, but
he'll talk about waste, fraud and abuse because people can
rally around waste fraud and abuse, you know. And notwithstanding
the fact that there have been some issues around Doze
and what's happening, I think he's going to just kind
of because I might add also, dose is not super popular,
or at least it's somewhat controversial, he might minimize the
number of mentions to Doe specifically and more concentrate on

(28:47):
the fact that his administration is cleaning up Washington of waste,
fraud and abuse.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
I think you'll hear about that.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Do you think you'll mention that Delta just made a
deal for food with shake Shack.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
I don't know that he'll get to that.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
I'm guessing that it'll be squeezed out maybe by the
Ukraine situation.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Is that a story that you're following? Crows, the shake
Shack and deltamated deal. I can't say that I've heard that. Damn, damn, damn, damn.
Sounds good, though, yeah, it does sound great.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
The deal is you'll be able to order shake shack
on Delta flights. Yes, it's pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Right, but you might be upside down eating it in Krona.

Speaker 9 (29:25):
And they have one accident and come on, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
You know, I was thinking about that, and we I
don't think we had you on when I was asking
this question of everybody. So I'd like to get your opinion.
You know, when when you leave a plane, you've you've
flown from lax to LaGuardia or JFK and the plane
lands and it's successful, and yet you know, maybe caught

(29:52):
a nap or a movie whatever, and you're walking off
the plane and the cockpit the cockpit door is open,
and the pilots standing there. I always say something to him, Okay,
nice landing or a nice smooth flight. Yeah, thanks fellas.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
I always go thanks guy.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
But let's say you're in Toronto, you're on the delta
flight that's upside down, and you're leaving the delta flight,
and that both the pilots are upside down. What do
you say to them?

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
I think the thank yous are not a big part
of the exit at that point. Almost nailed it, guys.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Have they figured out what happened?

Speaker 5 (30:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:30):
I don't think so. I think you think it was
a pilot error. Though I think so, I almost have almost.
It would almost have to be right. It sounds like it.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
Yeah, I mean it would be. It's either that or
some technical malfunction.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I mean, you know they're saying, and this isn't me.
You can look it up online. A lot of people
are saying this. I'm reporting it, so difference, difference. The
young woman that landed it was a twenty six year
old female with very little experience in landing planes old weather.

(31:02):
I think she had been landing planes for six months.
That's what they're saying online. Whether that's true or not.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, it depends where online you're seeing.

Speaker 9 (31:11):
I suppose I don't know, but I'm glad everybody met
it out alive and you know what they all got.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
You're lucky to be alive.

Speaker 9 (31:17):
You know what they got? Thirty grand, thirty thousand. Now
if you if you're one of those people, do you
feel good about the third? Yeah, take thirty grand too.
I'm like, I'm on it.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Would you take a knowing that if they're going to
give you thirty grand but you had to go through
a car couple of cartwheels, would you do it?

Speaker 4 (31:34):
You mean, if you told me this plane is going.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
To land, you're gonna end upside down, but you're gonna
get thirty k and you're gonna be okay. No, but
you're not. You may not be okay. Oh yeah, you
know you're gonna you're gonna do a cartwheel. We'll see
how the car. No, of course not, no, I paid
for the ticket. Let's land the plane. But you know
that doesn't diso.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
To win the accident lottery.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
It doesn't dismiss their liability. They can still sue the airline.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
I would think, I think that that's exactly right. I
don't think there was any sort of disclaimer or you know,
agreement not to suit further.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know, I like that airport. I've flown into the
airport a bunch of times, and I I remember I
was flying with a guy named Tim Mail, who was
a writer on a show that I was working on
up in Toronto called Boogie's Diner Boogies Diner, and we
were paying for our flights back to la but we

(32:25):
were paying with cash because they gave us pretty and
we had cash. We're going to pay cash. And the
woman at the at the Air Canada desk said, oh,
it's kind of unusual for fellas to pay for airplane
tickets with cash. And we gave her American money, a
couple hundred bucks each, and she said, you know, because

(32:45):
the Canadian money is all colored, you know, it's blues
and reds and shar Truce's and all kinds of colors.
And she said, man, that American money, it looks so
business like. And Tim Mail had the greatest line. He said, yeah, well,
you know when you're talking money, usually talking business.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Another writer on the show.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, he's one of the funniest guys. I remember, you
never met my life. I don't know. He's he's always busy.
He's uh a very successful couple of shows on like
Nickelodeon or or Fox or Disney whatever. And I'm very
funny man, one of the funniest guys I've ever met
in my life. And Tim Mayle is his name. Very
funny dude. And he does an exact perfect impression of

(33:31):
David Letterman.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Oh really yeah, it looks.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Like him and and the and the cadence and everything
to do.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
It was.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, very cool dude. All right, we're gonna walk this
up to uh Donald Trump. We'll be speaking here in
a couple of minutes. Oh by the way, yes, sir,
KF I and K O, S T HD two Los
Angeles and Orange County. Oh okay, all right, are you
also going to do an ID?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Is that it? All right?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
That's the that's the identification, which I think it was
Norm MacDonald who had a great line. He said, I
D is kind of a weird you know, identification, and
ID is a weird abbreviation for it because the I
actually stands for I and the D stands for identification.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
See, you're saying that he's saying the d's doing all
the work.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
There, right, Yeah, the I is the lazy one, sure, Yeah,
I stands for well I and the D for dentification.
Funny dude, funny funny guy.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
All right.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
J Leto is going to be at Flappers on Friday
and Saturday. I got to mention that before I go.
And then he's also interested in SB seven twelve. Yeah,
isn't that the right number? I think you have the
number there. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it.

Speaker 9 (34:49):
And he's this was introduced to exempt collector vehicles that
are at least thirty five years old from a smart chat.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
And he's smart. He's sort of like, you know, pretending
to be for the poor people, and you know, because
they if you have old cars. And really it's going
to save him a lot of headaches, a lot of money.

Speaker 9 (35:08):
No, I think he is okay actually, but he really
is concerned with the people.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
I don't think he was faking anything.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
What do you think is net worth is?

Speaker 4 (35:15):
I was?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't like to ask him when he's here.

Speaker 9 (35:17):
I was going to ask him tonight because you made
some reference to money and I thought I could get
away with it.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Right now, let me put it up here.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Okay, what do you think Jay Leno's net worth is?

Speaker 9 (35:29):
Oh, this is way too low. Yeah, it's got to
be you know, it's under the hundreds of millions.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
This says he's worth eight hundred and fifty grand, eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
I think he has that on him.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
You know, this is a it's weird because he doesn't
carry himself as a well Yeah, look at what he
was wearing. You know, he doesn't carry himself as all
well together. There's nothing about Jay Leno that's not very
kind of down to earth. He had an eyeglass holder,
that the free one they give you from the optometrist.

Speaker 9 (36:00):
But I'll tell you if you want to get a
sense for how much money he has, look at his homes.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Do you see the one in new Castle in New England?

Speaker 9 (36:06):
Yes, maybe the biggest house I've ever seen is like
Versailles level.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
So they say online he's worth four hundred and fifty
million dollars. Let me tell you why that's wrong. When
he was doing the Leno Show, he was.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Worth a billion a billion.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yes, he's got his mits and a lot of things.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
You know, you can't have six hundred cars and be
worth four hundred and fifty million.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Yeah, his car wax.

Speaker 9 (36:27):
I guess there's like a whole news he got these
car products.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
He really is a cool dude.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Just love them. We really do love them.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
And he busts my balls. I bust his ball. That's
really right. He's about He's like a brother. I consider
him family, you know, rich family.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Yeah, family you could borrow money from.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Nah.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I would never have borrow money from that dude. But
I wonder what the max he would lend me.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Well, that took a right turn in a hurry. Do
you think he let me. I would never borrow money
from that dude. I wonder how much.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
You think. I bet he would not lend me much
because he knows i'd blow it.

Speaker 9 (37:06):
Well, you know, I don't know you have a relationship
with him. I wouldn't road test that. So we're minutes
away from Donald Trump, the new president.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Take him late, He's never late. And you know what
you're not going to see tonight. You know, usually you
see behind him the Speaker of the House and then
the majority of the Senate. You see, and one of
them is usually a Democrat. If there's a Republican president.
They're both Republicans.

Speaker 9 (37:34):
Oh yeah, they'll be seeing me a lot of applause
breaks tonight. You can count on that.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
You're not going to see Nancy Pelosi ripping up his speech.

Speaker 9 (37:41):
No, that's exactly right. You're going to see a lot
of amen corner tonight.

Speaker 2 (37:46):

Speaker 4 (37:47):
They really dominate the They dominate all the contents.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
They got everything going. Yeah, here's a protest sweater or
jacket with Kristen Welker's reporting this on NBC. Somebody has
a pink jacket on the right all over it will

jd Vance as the vice president and then Speaker of

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Okay, so they're bringing in the first lady. Now, FYI
the first lay lady.

She's getting a standing ovation as Malania Trump enters the
and she should.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
Yeah. I got a.

Speaker 9 (38:30):
Letter soliciting a donation to sign her birthday card.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
And there's a picture of my rife. Yeah I did.

Speaker 9 (38:38):
And here's what they they said they want twenty eight
dollars or fifty dollars or one hundred dollars or one
hundred and fifty dollars or two hundred, two hundred and fifty.
I thought, why are they starting with twenty eight dollars?
YEA thought it must be because of some research they've done.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Maybe maybe, but anyway, I imagine that went right in
the shredder.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
I sent fifty dollars in. Ah, you're a nice guy.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Hey, there's that swimmer that wasn't like swimming against guys.
What's her name? The blonde? No hick, she swam there,
she is, she she swims and she doesn't like swimming
against men, and she's made a whole big hoopla.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
You're talking about Riley.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I'm sorry, yeah, Riley Gaines. What'd you say, cross Mark?
They're bringing in the cabinet now of the cabinet? All right,
all right, the cabinet's coming in, and then we're gonna
get to Donald Trump. Momentarily. It's late, I'll give you that,
usually on time, but they seem to have started right
around six. But you think everybody would get there early.

(39:35):
You know, you got cruise. Who else is in that cabinet?
I can't see him right now. Oh, Rubio, you're talking
about Rubio front HeiG Seth, Pam Bondi's in there. She
looks great. She's sixty two, like she's in her forties. Yeah,

(39:56):
and they're all coming in the there's no applause for anybody.
It looks like everybody's sitting on their hands, or at
least on the Democratic side, everybody's sitting on their paws.
But doesn't seem like there's a big standing ovation for anybody.
There's Kennedy RK Jr. And so the cabinet's coming in.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
That's Lutkin, the Commerce Secretary. I believe he is.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yeah, who's the chick that shot a dog?

Speaker 4 (40:22):
Oh yeah, Christy, No.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Christy, no, she won't be shooting any dogs.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
He's the Department of Homeland Security.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
There's Pete Hegseth with his best, you know, best suit,
best Tuesday night look going. Oh, there's Elon Musk is there,
and oh look who they put right next to the
line of people coming in, Adam Shift. And nobody's shaking
hands with Adam Shift.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
I don't see Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
You saw him, Yeah, he was in the standing in
the back.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Was he wearing his signature Make America.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
No, he's got a suit and tie on.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Oh wow, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah, I guess he got the note from when they
bring in Zelenski.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yeah, JD. Vans made a deal of that.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
You know.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
One of the things you may hear tonight is that
the Trump administration and their deal is back on with
Zelensky in Ukraine. You think you'll hear that. I think
you will. The minerals deal.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Oh, the minerals deal.

Speaker 9 (41:12):
Yeah, but I mean I think Zelensky sadly is sort
of forced to sign that deal however it exists.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, he's sort of strong arm there.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, yeah, they really worked that dude. But you're gonna
then hear a speech that probably will last at least
an hour, don't you think, Oh my god, at least yeah,
maybe two.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
I don't think it'll go two hours.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
But you don't think he can go two hours he
did at the convention.

Speaker 9 (41:35):
No, No, I believe he maybe. I mean I just think you, yeah,
it could be all right. So I'll tell you what.
He's found the right audience, as I say.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, half of the right audience.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Applause break city, you know.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
So we'll see if if there's any stunts on the left.
They were talking about walking out. They're talking about bringing
empty egg cartons to reflect the price of eggs. They
were talking about bringing sound makers you know that you
have on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
I don't know if they'll do it, but they were
talking about it, and and then they'll start the speech
and we'll well, we'll say, you'll see what's going on.
But it is a long I mean, it's a really
long wait. In the history of watching these things. They
usually you know, if they say six o'clock, by six
oh three, they're they're going, they're moving. Yeah, it's a

(42:26):
I mean, we're close, but he's got to everybody's gonna
make their way in. There's the Yeah, these are sort
of the ceremonial aspects to it.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
You think he's nervous about this or excited.

Speaker 9 (42:39):
I think he loves this stuff, and they like he
loves this stuff. He's a performer. He really is a performer.
That's would you be nervous, Uh, I might be nervous, Yeah,
I would be very Yeah, screw this up somehow. There's
Pam Bondy.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Bondy, Yeah, he sith talking to oh, there's Joe Biden,
RFK Junior Luck and we mentioned do you think Biden's
going to be there? Probably not.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
I wouldn't think so.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Obama, no, maybe not. Maybe the old look at that
they're shooting with a high end It looks like a
high end video or a high end film camera, probably
for future commercials. You know, he always does that.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
He brings in his home his own high end crew
to shoot this stuff for later, you know, you know,
publicity and.

Speaker 9 (43:29):
Commercials, documentary that that's right, Yeah, I see it now, Yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah, that's a high end that's not a that's I
don't think that's a network camera.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
That's a panel flex or whatever flex. It's just something flex.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Yeah, that's his own, that's his own equipment. Yeah, he's well,
I mean I think we're probably paying for it somehow
or somebody.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
I mean, I don't think he's paying for.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
It, yeah, right, somehow. Yeah, but it's it's good.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
Let him look whatever, you know.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Then we see Johnson there, who's the Speaker of the House.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
JD.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Vans, who's the Vice pre And it's going to be
the presidential address or address to the Joint session of Congress.
So you're gonna have everybody in Congress there, everyone in
the Senate will be there. I'm surprised that they have
room for everybody. You know that they have enough seats
for everybody. Yeah, they have a lot. That gallery is full,

(44:20):
for sure, gallery is full. And I think if if
people leave, and that, you know, one of the stunts
that they were talking about, is leaving during the speech,
that they may fill that seat up immediately with somebody
wants to get out there. Oh, I didn't think of
that standing room only seat fillers.

Speaker 9 (44:34):
There is called Telsea Gabbard who runs all the intelligence
for the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Now, yeah, and you know what's really ironic about about
Telsea Gabbart is that literally three months ago, four months ago,
she was on the do not fly list. She had
to she got worked when she wanted to fly anywhere
because they said she was a Russian bot.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
Oh, she was a Russian assets that's right, you know.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
And now she runs that partition asset doesn't matter, No,
gotta be a Russian accent. But now she runs the
department that threw her on the do not flyless Sure
how times turn how Mark?

Speaker 9 (45:11):
Yeah, it's been a real radical chan pivot on this
cruise ship of the US lost a few overboard on
the on the turn.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Actually it has become a little radical. Yeah, it's really
going for the uh. Well, yeah, you know, if if
if it was like a like a ski boat, it
the accelerators all the way down.

Speaker 9 (45:32):
Yeah, I agree, moving on, it's a it's a wild ride.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
People are hanging on tight. Mister Toad's wild ride. That's right,
mister Trump's wild ride.

Speaker 9 (45:41):
They've got a copy of the speech. I would think
some of these lawmakers have already seen it.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Oh, I'm sure they have. Yeah, but I'm sure it's
been embargoed as well. Maybe maybe not right, maybe, I mean.

Speaker 9 (45:54):
Generally generally what said is Hill reference the way media is,
he'll reference these things. They've seen it, so they don't
actually give the lines or quote from the speech, but
they say, you know, mister Trump, the president is likely
to reference the following things tonight, knowing that they'd seen it.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Right, And what are some of them? Are the reporting
any of them interesting?

Speaker 9 (46:15):
I know, I'm just looking at the speech itself right now.
I mean, he talks about the fact that he's he's
in charge of a government that couldn't handle a bunch
of stuff before and now we'll be able to handle it's.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
A new support that said, if Democrats get a little
riley and hecklem or interrupted or something, he may just
go off script.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
So because really that it could go two hours. Yeah,
all right, So.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Some of the highlights and some of the takeaways they say,
you know, obviously there's how to watch, how to listen
to it, and everyone's saying KFI. I think we're the
only radio station that's running this thing, so you can
listen to it on KFI. But Krozier, this might go
on to Laateterlo because it's not going to start until
six twenty or six fifteen, six thirty. And there is
the Democratic response, of course, and we'll run that as well.

(47:08):
We're gonna run it live here. Who's doing that?

Speaker 4 (47:09):
You know?

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Anybody know who's running Stephonic.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
At least a phonic?

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, well she's running the Democrat. She's a Republican. She no,
she's a Democrat at least a phonic. I think she's
a Republican. I think it's somebody else. Stephanic is a
she is a Republican. But for whatever reason, they asked
her to do the do the response? Really really?

Speaker 5 (47:35):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Why that's odd?

Speaker 4 (47:37):
Yeah, she is right. She's a registered Republican's true.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
It's a huge republic She's the one that busted all
those the heads of all those universities and said threatening
Jews is not is not a problem on your campus.
She's the one that started that and caused the resignation
of some of those Ivy League presidents. Sorry, I got
the I got it switched up. It's Elisa Slott, right, yeah,

(48:00):
oh okay, that didn't sound right, even when.

Speaker 4 (48:02):
I got sucked into the same thing.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, alright, alright, all right, yeah that makes more sense. Yeah,
although it would have been funnier if it would have
been funny.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
Everything you said we're good with.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Well, she's smoking, Yeah, thank you. Can I gang to you?
Everything he said is unbelievable.

Speaker 9 (48:21):
Slocking is new to the Senate. She's only been in
the Senate a couple of months.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Really, yeah, just last no remember elected to the upper Chamber. Yeah,
she's the one that also the supported them swigging. Oh,
here's the introduction, all right, the introduction of Donald Trump.
He'll take it from here. There a lot of applause,
until he gets up there. That's another twenty minutes. Oh,

(48:47):
it's gonna be twenty minutes at least. I mean, we're
gonna not gonna start this single six thirty five, six
forty All right, Well, we can keep talking here. I
guess Donald Trump is coming in. Lania Trump is there.
Who the girls next to Malania Trump? Those aren't heard.
I mean they're the cousins or friends or the girls'
night out.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
I don't know. But Donald Trump's coming in, shaking hands
with some of the Democrats there. He's going to pass
Adam Shiff here in a second. Let's see if he
has anything to say or shake hands with Adam Schiff
who's the Senator of the state of California. Little Bobert
with her implants. All right, he's coming coming in hot,

(49:31):
and he's shaking some hands with Democrats, mostly Republicans.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Someone's hold the signe.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
This is not normal.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Right as Trump walk.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Past, this is not normal. And a couple of people
make America great again. Hats whose are being thrown around.
A lot of excitement on the right, very few excited
people on the left. They are livid with what's going

(50:03):
on in Washington, DC. This guy has been a thorn
in their side since twenty fifteen when he started running.
And now it's ten years later and they can't stand
this guy and his administration. But the other side, they're

(50:24):
treating him like he's a war hero, like he's just
come home after winning World War Two.

Speaker 9 (50:31):
Well, he's brought them back to power and in him
broad Way and they are, you know, in the first
five weeks of his administration, changing government in Washington and beyond,
changing the federal government and gutting many agencies or government.
And so the division of the future under this president

(50:53):
is very different than we've ever seen before.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
There's what's his name, Minority Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer does
not look happy. Every time Chuck Chuck is reading something,
he looks like he's reading it for the first time.

Speaker 9 (51:12):
He's not the greatest messenger for the Democrats, for sure.
I mean one of the things you can say you
like him or not. I mean, Trump is, in my view,
a generational political figure in terms of the way he
addresses the cra He's a media figure, so he communicates,
you know, by contrast to Schumer, Trump communicates so very effectively.

(51:33):
Now I mean, if you view what he says as toxic,
that's a bad thing. If you view what he says
as inspirational, then it's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Bill Maher had a good point. He said that the
left has to find their Donald Trump. Somebody that speaks
is like Donald Trump to the left. Yeah, and maybe
they will. Who knows. Joint Chief of Staff, he's just
saying high now to the Chief Justice and the Supreme
Court judges. I think those were all six of the Republicans.

(52:03):
I didn't see any on now the USA chance starting
Joint chief of Staff. He's getting closer and closer to
the stage, and then we'll step aside, shaking hands with
everybody in the military there.

Speaker 9 (52:18):
He's fired that a bunch of the top military days.
Those are the guys who are left. These are the
new guys, I guess, yeah, the new guys.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
And here he is taking the podio.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
All right, We'll let you listen to this for an
hour and and a half and then Moe Kelly will
come up immediately when this is over. It's Conawain Thompson.
A presidential address to the Joint Session of Congress begins
right now. Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
